Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. "The Council in Jerusalem" Acts 15:22-29; Gal. 2:1, 2, 9, 10. A crisis had developed in the young church, brought about by overzealous members of the Jewish Christians, who insisted that the converts from Gentiles must first become Jews, comply with the cere monial law proselytes and then Christians. This was entirely con trary to precedent and God's direct revelation. (See Acts 10:15, 44). Should tho church survive and be a success then this matter must be, once and for all time, settled to tho satisfaction of all concerned. There are some things that can never be tolerated unless the church loses its message and power. There are other things which we can easily allow and in which we can compromise with out violating our conscience. From the study of this lesson, we should come to know what is important and can never he given up in tne cnurcn and what is not so important and can readily be allowed. The time of this Council i3 50 A. I). The Epis tle to the Galatians was written about 57 A. I). The Council was held at .Jerusalem; Galatians was written from Corinth. It was a wise move from tho point of the leaders, to take the whole church into their confidence. Paul had been confirmed by the Lord, Jesus Christ, an apostle to the Gentiles, and given his mes sage to them; that salvation was the free gift of God through faith in Jesus Christ, and the fruit of such acceptance cf Christ would be shown in a holy life, whereby the Lord, Jesus Christ would be glori fied and magnified. And God had ap proved of Paul's work, and put the stamp of his approval on his work But Satan saw his kingdom slipping away, so he stirred up strife, dissen tion, but withal did not succeed in disturbing the church. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Paul and Barnabas and "cer tain others" were sent to Jerusalem about this rrfatter a3 described above May we now look in at the most dig nified body that ever assembled! There are the Apostles, the Pres byters and Elders, James, not an apostle called to the chair. (It seems a preliminary meeting had preceded the council). The opposition stated their side. ( See Acts 15:5). Now, the church is called together; after jnany remarks pro and con had been made, Peter takes the floor and states "his experience, which was followed by a deep 6ilence then Paul got the floor and stated in his own convinc ing way what wonders and miracles God had wrought among the Gen tiles. That silenced the opposition. Now the chairman sums up the case. He gave the most conservative of all the addresses that day. (See verses 13-21), conciliating both Jews and Gentiles, which pleased the en tire church. The following resolution was then unanimously adopted and dispatched to the churches. May we stress in our teaching the declara tion of these leaders when they say: "It seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us." Having first sought the approval of the Holy Spirit. If all our acts would meet and have the consent of God, how much friction would be avoided and how much bet ter could we legislate for the church. It is renmrkable that we find nine times the words, "of one accord" in the Acts, showing the church to be Christ-minded in its early years. Fourteen years after his conver sion Paul recounts his visit to Jeru salem to that first great council. Paul made five visits after his conversion to Jerusalem. Then he states that he went by "revelation." The council was God's plan, and he revealed it to Paul in -v vision? We do not know. When he arrived at Jerusalem, he was received by James, Peter and Paul, "pillars in the church." That would suggest the church to be an edifice, carried by pillars. So the church is regarded (2 Cor. 6:1G; Rev. 3:12; Prov. 0:1). They sup ported and graced the Christian edi fice zealous, gifted, mighty and successful laborers. It must not be overlooked how- Paul rebuked Peter, who was charg ed with flagrant inconsistency and with glaring insincerity. He had forgotten his experience of years ago, on the housetop at Joppa, where God taught him not to regard unclean what God had cleansed. He had lived in free intercourse with Gentile be lievers; now he belie3 his own con victions. For Peter now to demand that Gentile Christians should obey the Mosaic law was disloyalty to the Gos pel of Christ. Undoubtedly Peter ac knowledged hia error. Impulsive Pet er would be very sorry and humble. It was not an error of teaching, but of conduct and he was quite the man to confess his fault. Once more Paul states" the car dinal doctrine cf all his preaching justification by faith. Not by keep ing the law is a man justified, but by faith in the everliving glorous Son of the living God. Would to God that this doctrine were more preach ed, for then we would have better and more loyal Christians. j CA1LS From Monday's Daily: Mrs. W. L.
